I'd love to have a printed version of the tab upon which Albert King's "The Sky Is Crying" is based.  The Rocksmith Tool Kit has a Song2Tab feature, but it only works on RS 1 files.  Is there any way to extract this tab from the original file?  I tried sitting down with Riff Repeater and writing it by hand, but quickly found I'd rather stab myself in the eye than try that for the whole song.

Did you search for "<my song> guitar pro tab" on Google ?Many contributors are using these tabs to create their CDLCs.You can open these files with Tuxguitar, a free tool for editing tabs in Guitar Pro format.

I've heard you recommending the Tuxguitar program before on other post.

I thought I'd download it tonight and give it a try. What a great freeware program.

This is going to save me a ton of time working on my latest custom.

@@EKStickland This is official DLC, I don't think it'd be possible to extract the tab for it anyway. Have a look at these files on Songsterr: http://www.songsterr.com/a/wa/search?pattern=the+sky+is+crying -- they might be close to the King version.

 

Instead of using the Riff Repeater though, why not use a video of it ? You can make your own or find it on youtube.  It'll be much easier to pause/slow down. And yes, if you don't have GuitarPro, use Tuxguitar to write out your tab.

There one RStabViewer on github, its pretty unstable now and author don't mind to maintain it, but I think its pretty good for bass tab preview.
